MAP18: Buried Alive (Going Down)

MAP18: Buried Alive is the eighteenth map of Going Down. It was designed by Cyriak Harris (mouldy), who also composed the music track, "Hiding from the Robo-Zombies."

Secrets

 * 1) After flipping the detonator switch, go to the southeast part of the area to find a cave with revenants, medikits, and lots of ammo. (sector 162)
 * 2) Past the hordes of Hell knights and barons of Hell that come pouring after pressing the detonator switch, you can find a small cave with a berserk pack and an invulnerability tucked away. (sector 544)

Bugs
The first couple of stairs (consisting of sectors 246, 479, 575, and 584) leading to the western teleport pad are marked with the same damaging effect as the magma floor.

The lowest floors of the map crumble and become magma, which should deal damage when stood on, but the crumbling floors close to the UFO (consisting of sectors 107, 105, 209, 208) only take on the magma texture and fail to take on the damage effect. Similarly, the wall around the blue key (sector 183) crumbles and becomes floor magma but is safe to stand on.

Some of the magma floors at the BFG9000 (sectors 212, 213, 567) were not set to be damaging and are safe to stand on.

An armor bonus (thing 306) is placed on a floor that crumbles but also slightly rests on a floor that does not crumble, making it appear to float.
